Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hey,

(If anyone can guess that movie quote I'll buy ya an Ice cream Very Happy )

I've been snowboarding for a few seasons now & I'm loving it more and more each time I go. Last season I learnt how to do ground 360's, wheelies and I've started landing my jumps much better.

Anyway this season I'm gonna give the half-pipe a shout. I was hoping some of you snowheads would post a few anecdotes about how your first time (easy tiger) was. Hopefully I can learn a little from you guys to help keep myself in one piece!

so, counting down the days now for that first resort to open! Madeye-Smiley

jorquay, First rule of half-pipe . . . . DON'T JUMP to turn Embarassed or you'll find yourself out over a 15 foot drop onto blue concete. Start low and learn your trajectory. And while you're learning it's knee, elbow, wrist, butt and head protection you need . . . 'cos you will screw-up Twisted Evil
Get your mates to vid your efforts . . . we need a laff wink

Thanks for the advice Masque Very Happy I will definitely start low!

I'm sure I'll need all the protection I can get! And yeah I reckon some of my exploits would put monty python to shame! wink So is there ever a time to jump on the halfpipe or should you just aim high to the sky?

Wats up fellow snowboarders....
my suggestion is just go balls to the wall....have fun...But also know your limitions..No bigginer is going to be doing 540s on their first halfpipe ..you will learn more in a halfpipe by mainly trial and error (mostly error on your first couple attempts) The most important thing to remember is DO NOT TRY TO CATCH YOURSELF if you go tumbling...just tuck and roll..... but just figure out wat works best for you...everyone has their own little way of doing jumps, rails, or halfpipes. knee, elbow, wrist, and ass protection arent bad ideas either..
